A Kiddo- Gift Guide

Tuesday, November 22, 2011

I have already started planning my gift giving for the holiday season and I think the toughest to buy for the kiddos. Between the hubs and I - we have 6 to shop for and they are all under the age of 12. I want to be a semi cool auntie but still give them something of substance.

A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein. I think some of the best imagination is in this book. I often still of several of the poems that have inspired my art work. Hopefully I can pass on some magic that inspired me to someone else.

Sharks really freaked me out as a kid- I think it's mainly because of the Jaw movies ;) but they make this cool puzzle anatomy models now.

Of course I want to give art supplies! but I found this really awesome pack that teaches kids about the modern art. I think it's so important to teach kids about art especially art history. Wouldn't you want this if you were a kid :)?

I love giving science gifts- but i have to admit i love giving kid gifts that make a mess. I know it may drive my sisters crazy but the kids love it!

That tree is 'wonderous! Magic in itself.If you have any 8-10 age to buy for, check out my book (a cyberspace adventure and a little whacky). You can look inside on amazon.com, so you will know if it is right. Violet Jelly by Ann Sharples.Just telling you because it is fun, according to those who have read it.
